Healers: How are you gonna adjust?

SassiestAssassin · July 2019

Hey fellow healers, PvP and PvE alike. We’ve talked a ton about how the changes make you feel. Now I’m curious what direction y’all are going in.
What kind of adjustments are you making to your healing game, be it in skills, class, or cancelling your subscription?

I'mma look and see how things are going to go for my NB healer. If I feel that adjusting for him won't be as annoying and unfun to play as I think it will be then I'll keep playing.

If my templar is going to be the only one to make the cut, then I'll keep playing until I inevitably burn out and take a vacation until changes that interest me enough to come back happen.

Contemplating human sacrifice to reverse changes

In my guild several healers decided on few options:
1. Re-roll mag-blade DPS with refreshing path and swallow soul. If dps doesn't get the heal because hot area is too narrow - their problem.
2. Get asylum resto and spam combat prayer. If dps doesn't get the heal because hot area is too narrow - their problem.
3. Rer-roll tank. Have 2-3 tank and 9-10 stam dps rotatin vigor.
4. RP & Housing.
5. Quit the game.

None of my healer brethren are taking the changes well... Except for the DK healer, he's just used to being in a nerfed helaer state in general.

I was actually very worried when I first read the changes they were going to make, but when I actually tried out healing with my usual skills on PTS, I didn't run into too many difficulties. Sure, it will take some adjusting, but I'm sure us healers needn't be too worried. Plus they announced they're going to make a change to surge for sorc healers, which I'm really excited about. So we'll see how that goes.

I don’t heal, but I Have Opinions Too.

I have always tanked or DPS. I recently just leveled a healer to have a back up for vet trails and dungeons. I got her fully geared about a week ago. So just going to wait until after this update before I really start working on rotations

I like the changes and am very much looking forward to them. I miss that option in the poll.

I'm a magplar healer and I've seen no significant doom and gloom. Now with that Orb change hitting all members of your party within range..all is well lol.

Pray to Akatosh the changes don't actually go through as they are written, and failing that, stop healing. These changes are enough to make healing put a bitter taste in my mouth altogether. Probably gonna stop using a good number of my magicka classes much as well, outside my main at least.

Tons of ice cream, chocolate fudge preferred, while reminiscing about the good ol' days with Energy Orbs

And after that: back to business, enjoy the improved Budding Seeds and try to adjust as best as I can

For you to make that exact comment. My curse is broken, and now I’m free.

The sacrifices will be the players not standing directly in front of my healer.

mobicera · July 2019

Where is the option to quit supporting changes that assist in ruining enjoyable gameplay...

SassiestAssassin · July 2019

Personally, I’m going to take a break from the PvE stuff that has healing challenges (vDoM) until I feel better adjusted. I think Healing Seed has potential, and I’m coming around to the orb changes (except the speed) but at least I have Mushrooms.
Still, it all comes at the cost of mobility, which I really don’t like.

I really feel for all non-meta healers, I hope they are planning on making more class abilities being bigger heals than Resto

KatySpirit · July 2019

Just adjusting rotation

Dungeon healing will be fine and I won't be allowed in trials anymore on my favorite healers so guess I'll just roleplay on trial nights. Hopefully they make my Refreshing Path bigger in a future update so I can heal trials again one day!

Aznarb · July 2019

Taking a vacation from it

I've already plan different build.
Will test it, If I feel healer is not need and can easily be replaced by dps, I'll just quit since I don't enjoy other gameplay.
Especially when we're already useless in 80% of the content..

Excelsus · July 2019

Taking a vacation from it

I'm taking a vacation. I already struggle on my Warden in certain trials. I feel inferior to my Templar brethren, not syngergistic as intended. I don't wanna run a half baked stam healer, mostly because I'm tired of Zos starting little niche projects like they did with frost staff tanking and then never addressing it again and leaving it in an incomplete state. Other option would be to roll Necro healer because they seem more equiped to keep up with this new... healer... meta...

if the changes go through as the are on my templar the "adapting" method I will be using is very "setup" orientated. Not gear but skill succession. Will also test out running mending over jorvulds tbh.

Illustrious on the DDs to proc olorime (assuming I switch morph) > Combat prayer (reapply where needed) > Orb for DDs to proc lokke > Ritual (full group coverage) > Overflowing Altar (full group coverage) > ring of preservation on the DDs (stacked - minor endurance + protection as well as a decent healing tick for the DDs ever half second, scales of stam but it all adds up as useful) > blockade (though I am considering removing this and having powered now it would of been charged back bar but yeah - off balance is very useful but i'd rather the group survive at this point needs more testing).

Shards where needed, maintain up time on IA. There will be a lot more heavy attacking at least. Its a bit of a mess but it will work itself out. Ele drain and power of light up times will have a bit more focus though, over all I think it will be a matter of the DDs taking care of themselves more whether they like it or not.

Should also note if I need to burst heal the tank or their is a burst heal phase on the tank coming up I will completely ignore DDs and throw the orb directly on top of the tank i cba to risk the entire group because some DDs didnt get their synergies when they wanted them. Tank first DDs second. Dont need to currently on live but honestly I will post patch.

Though this in of itself feels awkward because now in between I will have to use BoL more. But it could be worse. In reality I think off-meta healers will struggle far more than I will.

p00tx · July 2019

Just adjusting rotation

The only thing that will really change for me personally is I won't be spamming 2-4 orbs between every 3 skills and I'll probably either dump Mutagen entirely (one target at a time guys? Really?) or replace BoL with it as my reactive heal on my Templar when one is needed. Bone Surge and Altar will be up all day every day on every one of my healers, which is already usually the case, but more so now. I still feel torn about the orb changes. I love that Everyone can synergize one now and I love what that means for shuffling sustain into spell dmg/healing power, but It's going to be a pita to get orbs to off tanks now, and I don't want to be nailed down to my Templar for Shards synergies when I'm healing. We shall see...

Saril_Durzam · July 2019

As a magplar healer i will slot maybe diff heals on trials. On dungeons there wont be noticeable difference.

DarcyMardin · July 2019

Play my tanks instead.

Elwendryll · July 2019

Trying Stam-healing

No, seriously. I just decided to make my build with high stamina regen. Still everything invested in max magicka, but maybe 1.8k regen of both? I'll be using ring of preservation and spiders, as well as bone armor on top of the Magicka/Health abilities.

mocap · July 2019

i mostly heal in dungeons and will replace Rapid regen with Ritual for hybrid dd/healer. For a full healer preset i will replace Rapid with Syphon.

Though it seems EleDrain is useless in this case, don't know what skill to take instead...

hasi · July 2019

Contemplating human sacrifice to reverse changes

Rip my Sorc Healer. Feels like it will be completely useless in Trials now as it can't compensate the Healing Spring Changes with a Class Skill unlike Templar/Warden. Plus I am still in awe duo to healing certain Trials. How am I gonna support my Dds in Vas HM as Backkite Healer with just one slow bubble? Unless that bubble has like a 50m Synergy Range...

I mean... I just liked conjuring the image of healer toons in shades, chillin’ on the beach until another patch comes along in our favor. It’s not that deep.

PvP necro healer, update has no major affect on my current rotation besides cost changes and mutagen change. Springs is not in the skill set. So will just keep on keeping on.

I will adapt, that's what we do.
